Shed The Final Episode

Shed Soffits

Finally this guy has done something around the house. I have slowly been working on my shed but have had so little time at home. With this strong market having time to breathe doesn't seem to exist.

Awhile back I had purchased the fascia for my shed but it has just been sitting in my shed. I also had a ton of short cut offs of tongue and groove cedar from a project. I finally had a second and decided to get on it and get this done.

I was originally going to paint the cedar soffit white, but now that it is up I love the look of the natural wood.

I still have a little bit to do to get it finished but it wont be long now. I have to take another break because I have a staircase that I am going to be rebuilding because the original contractor didn't really know how to build staircases.

Leave a comment below and tell me if would you paint the soffit or leave it natural.

Thanks for following along on the slow remodel of this house. Feel free to follow me on Facebook, Pinterest, Follow me on Instagram or Twitter for sneak peaks into upcoming projects

About Me

I am a contractor based in the Salt Lake Area. I have been working in
the business since 1998. I started by just framing houses. I learned a
lot just from building the structures and being around all the other
trades. In 2005 my company was hired to frame a hotel in Denali, Alaska
for princess cruise lines. They liked us so much that we were hired
directly to finish out the project. I then returned home and began
building homes from the ground up. I would try to hire things out but I
was on a budget so if I couldn't get the prices I needed then I would
just do it myself and pay the allowable amount. This was where I started
learning how to do many things.

The market as everybody knows took a down turn end of 2007 into
2008. I had multiple properties on the market and took a big hit. I then
turned my focus from new construction to doing remodels. Many people
were putting apartments in their basements to accommodate family members
who had taken a hit from the recession. I was able to find frugal ways
to fix things up and also give it that elegant feel that so many of us
want.

I have kept to myself doing these fix and flips but I feel that maybe I
have something to offer the general public. I am a licensed and insured
contractor. I have also been really active in real estate. I got my
real estate license in 2002. I have a passion for both.

My greatest passion is buying homes that definitely need love. I take
these and I use my strong design sense to create something that is
unique. I consider my designs to be an expression of self as well as
art. I take pride in my work and love when it is appreciated.

I feel everyone likes to be unique. You can own a track home in a
developed neighborhood and still be unique. You can have that "
something no one else has" it just takes creativity and vision.

I don't claim to be a writer, and I am new to this blog thing so bear with me as I work through this new adventure.
